'Give away items'.You will find opportunities to give things away. Bring blankets and clothing for kids that will last them as long as you are there. Also, bring toys. You won't find any good ones in Nepal. Your favorite clothing items so you can get them copied. If you have a shirt you love or something you always loved to wear but it doesn't fit any more, this is your chance to get it copied or made just right. Bring fabrics you love from home.
